BOX!) ISSIE APPROVED HARRISBURG, Sept. 24. fJT) Approval of a bond issue of $145,000 was approved for Westmoreland county for street and sewer improvements and for the purchase of a municipal park site, was announced James F. Woodward, secretary of internal affairs, today IBM IS SERIOUSLY ILL Stewart S. Heberling, Borough Fireman, Slowly Sinking at ill.

Aituuna uuspuai Sad news reached Juniata last evening in a report from the Altoona hospital that Stewart S. Heberling has apparently been sinking and suffering much pain during the past two days and his condition last night was regarded as precarious. Mr Heberling has many friends in the borough where for- years he has re sided with his family at Eighth ave nue and Eighth street and where his citizenship has found expression as a volunteer fireman in Rogers, No. 1, company. Throughout the Al toona district he is well known as an expert mechanic and contractor In concrete work.

Within tiie past year he has bravely sought remedy for a serious heart trouble, with which he was for the second time recently prostrated. Ordinances to create storm sewers on Ninth and Seventh avenues will probably be considered by council in the regular session on October first as part of the municipal improvement progranf for 192S and 1929. The move comes In connection with the extensive paving operations for which bids will be opened on the same it being the intention of the councilmen to complete, all underground work in advance of the paving to avoid any cutting of the new roadways. Already along the lines of the paving schedule a number of water mains have been laid and water and sewer taps made to all vacant lots and fire hydrants in stalled with a vision to future needs, all of this work having been accomp lished by the public works department. Flooding of cellars and overloading of sewers in the Sixth ward has long been an item of inconven ience to people living in that district and council will likely anticipate fur ther trouble by awarding contracts to lay adequate storm sewers.
